During the month of June, a rotating list of bakers will serve special offerings—from doughnuts to hand pies to pastry boxes—with 100 percent of the proceeds going to support For the Culture magazine. The baked goods for sale are through their own businesses for pickup and delivery.

For the Culture is a biannual, nationally printed food magazine that celebrates Black women in food and beverage created by cookbook author and writer Klancy Miller. The stories, photography, and illustrations are all written and created by Black women, the first magazine of its kind. Miller wants to create a publication that creates a community centering on the stories and perspectives of Black women chefs, restaurateurs, farmers, food stylists, writers, bloggers, bakers, sommeliers, bartenders, food activists, and entrepreneurs. 

Jenelle Kellam and Keia Mastrianni, organizers of the bake sale in Charlotte, hope to raise $5,000 to support the magazine’s first publication. You can read more about For the Culture here.
